Stocks by attributes

[davale]

Here's another candidate for the beta-force!

[art03]

I've tested the code with php 5 and there are some '<?' php tags in the main php file that needs to be changed to '<?php'.

Is this module available for beta testing yet? I would like to work with it as well. I am trying to start with my first zen cart store which requires this module.

I'm hoping to be able to start with version 1.3.5 from the beginning, but I absolutely need the stock by attribute for this store.

Thanx,
Steven

Will the new (beta) version enable customers to search attributes?

art03: as you're not in the beta testing the current version (to my knowledge), I assume that you are referring to the current version. However, this has been fixed for the 1.3.5 version due for release shortly.

davale: No. I'm afraid that the new version will no provide additional functionality to allow customers to search attributes

beta testers: please remember to send feedback via beta AT kuroi DOT co DOT uk rather than by PM as my mailbox is getting overwhelmed at the moment and I'd hate to see your carefully constructed feeback lost because it can't get delivered. If you have feedback and haven't yet sent it, please do so ASAP.

prospective beta testers: WOW. There are a lot of you. This is clearly going to be a much used add-on. As managing requests to beta test is now taking more of my time than actually preparing this add-on for formal release and more importantly (for me at least) blocking my mailbox for people with whom I am discussing paid work, I am closing beta testing to new participants. However, I will make exceptions for people actually running multi-lingual or non-English stores who promise faithfully to give me feedback. For everybody else, a little patience please, the finished add-on should be along shortly.

Well after upgrading my old zen to the latest new one, i thought that everything was in order... until my brother asked me how he could change the "attributes with stock" so Loh and Behold, it wasn't there! The way our stock works at the moment is different to most;

ive written a php program to retrieve xml product information from our suppliers server, which then updates our stock counts, whether they have attributes or not... Though our products will need attribute stock levels soon because we're going to start buying products and holding real stock!


I tried the function rewrites as with the old version of the attributes with stock contribution, but it failed miserably, as stock levels did not reduce when products were purchased.
I wish you the best of luck with writing this, its quite a shame really that the zencart developers didnt write this functionality into the core of their fantastic program.

Will be following this thread eagerly for progress :-) :-)

I have read through every page and am still not sure how to upload the files for the attributes by stock module. In phpmyadmin i accessed the database and found a table called zen_products_with_attributes_stock but am not sure what to do with it. All the settings for each component are correct ie stock_id but when i click on import, im not sure which files I am supposed to upload so i have tried the complete zip which obviously has not worked. Any ideas please?

This will actually be part of the core code in an upcoming version, I believe it will be in 1.4

You have to upload the files in the zip file to your website, usually via FTP, making sure to upload them to the correct folders for your template. The readme.txt file that is part of the zip file should help with that. The sql file is the one you upload to the database, you can do this by going into your zen admin, clicking Tools-Install SQL Patches, and then uploading the sql file from your computer.

woooohoooo!! I'm sure I read that somewhere a long long time ago, back in the days of version 1.2.x!! Does anyone have any idea on the "timescale" (dare I say? ) of zencart 1.4?
